MEssRs. EDITORs:-I wish to lot the
readers of the HERALD know that there IL
life in the old town yet, and that IT has
had several causes for being reused from
its lethargy. The first was by the steam
engine in breeches, breaking GROUND on
Water street, and making perfect grace
ont Of il. Second the news that our Unit
ed States Senator was in Jail for contempt
of court. We are glad to know that he IS
again at liberty and hope he will never
again allow himself to so wound the feel
inps of his friends as to ever give the court
an opportunity TO place him there again
The third cause aroused quite different
fesling. IL was a letter of /. c. Baker, writ
ten by himself, perhaps, to HIS wife, but
intended for the good kind mother aud
family who raised him. But am author
lied TO say it fell short Of its mark, If moth
ing mars their passage from earth TO
Heaven. or weighs heavier on their minds
when crossing the chilly waters, than the
thoughts OF so Infamous a scamp as he has
proven himself TO be, by such acts as sell
ing articles for others, keeping the money,
buying sugar for making tafIy, and having
it charged to a young lady, getting money
under false pretense of his foster brother,
forging three notes in succession ana
many other things that the people Of this
neighborhood know him to be guilty Of
he need not think any one will be Affected
by what he may do or say. His unfortn-
nate wife and child have the sympathy OF
all. and James c. Baker the respect OF all,
for the manner in which he conducted his
first case. May he ever do Likewise is the
wish Of tho people Of this community

Returning about o'clock in the morning

where he supposed he had left him stand

had struck out for home about three miles

ten days, which it was in session. God
alone knows.
All who have visited the grounds viii
acknowledge that the place was pleasant,
and those who listened to the sermons ana
addresses will admit they were good and
earnestly delivered; but there Was I"
small per cent. of the vast assemblage on
Sunday Who were benefited by th'm. The
majority Of tie crowd were there. not 10

and comfort. but, on the contrary, to pan
der to q morbid appetite for worldlypleas-
ure. Alas what an occasion Tor evil
And many. too. ayailed themselves Of the
opportunity.
The worst characters within reach Of
the grounds were on hand TO ply their
trade. and to entice the innocent and un-
wary into participation of their deeds Of
shame and sin. All such general assem-
blies of homogeneous elements, must be
productive OF much evil, as they afford an
unrestrained license for the wholesale des-
ecration of the Lords day. Almost any
thing could be had for the money from
dry goods down to whiskey.
Moreover, how many congregations and
Sunday schools were desolated Of worship
pers and attendants on account of it
How strangely did the preachers theme

motive and act of the multitude-who had

churches and Sunday-schools to crafty a

How many seeds of infdelity were sown

to be, on the part of both SAINT and sinner,
to meet on common grounds and We know
of no place where their distinctions are 20

Is it any wonder that the church is los

The big snake stories Of the Valley have
been left by unanimous consent of the
newspaper men to Tom Berry, the genial
snake Editor of the Page Courier, and for
that reason we hesitate 10 trench upon
his exclusive preserves. But for all this
we cannot refrain from publishing the
following wonderful, but true, snake story,
our excuse being that it occurred in this
county and was reported to us by a
minister, a prominent lawyer and we'll
known druggist. The facts are as follows:
One day last week some parties who
were engaged in bark hauling between
the Wilson Cove and Rees' tannery, en-
countered the largest snake that has ever
been seen at large in this section. Just
as they were crossing the divide between
the Cove and Cedar Creek Valley, they
encountered an enormous snake known
through out this section as the "Bull
Snake" II has always been considered
perfectfully harmless, being, as a general
thing, a very dull and sluggish reptile
But this monster was an exception and at
once showed fight in most active and
vigorous manner. After lively conflict
the snake was killed and proved to be so
very large and heavy that it was tied be-
hind one Of the bark wagons and dragged
IN tho LANYARD where il was weighed, and
found to tip the beam at 80 pounds 1t
was fearful looking reptile and will
probably be skinned and stuffed for the
Smithsonian Institute.

with the excellent medical treatment she
constantly receives, may soon hope to see
her again restored to perfect health.

A CARD.

hereby make brief statement IN ref
erence to the arrest, imprisonment and
subsequent release of Senator Riddleber-
ger. Particularly 50 from the fact that
so much has been said and published that
was entirely untrue, and SO little that il
true. First, in reference to the statement
made in the papers that 'the deputy sher-
ifs jumped out of the windows" This
statement is entirely false in every partlc-
Mar. and was known to he false by the
party who originated it. | was not pres
ent in court at the time of the arrest OF
the Senator, and knew nothing of IT for
some time afterward. Again, the Senator
was not in my custody in the jail, as the
sheriff will testify to but was with him
there only as friend. Neither was
aware of any threats or intended violence
to release the Senator. l was not armed
and had no means of resisting the crowd.
Situated as was, did all / could to pre-
vent his escape, but was unable to do so.
Again, some of the papers, referring to
the fact that there were only six persons
indicted, say that "this was the bowling
mob that was seen by myself and the
iailor's family" The fact is, there was
large crowd and because there were but
few indictments, it does not follow by any
means that there we're not more in the
crowd. Most of the newspaper reports
are almost entirely devoid of truth, anc
evidently emanated from sources which
are wholly unreliable. 1t would seen
that reporters in this case had very little
regard for the truth, or were wholly igno-
rant of the facts as they actually occurred
As to the grand jury that brought the
indictments, it was composed OF nine per
sons. four Of whom never signed the in
dictments, and say there was no evidence
before them on which TO find an indict
ment against any one, and that they
considered it an outrage and gross injus
tce to the parties concerned.
| mako this brief statement to correc
some. at least, of tho many false report
which have been circulated, and to Sc
myself right before the good people o
Shenandoah. All the statements | hay
made can abundantly prove, and as u
the manner in which have performed m,
duties in the past as an officer of thi
/ court, leave for the sheriff, Mr.. w. II
Wightman, and all other good, fair-mnd
led, unprejudiced citizens to speak
Very respectfully,

A New Circus.

WITH NEW lDEAs-HUNDREDs TURNED
AWAY UNABLE TO GAIN ADMISSION.
The 4 Paw & Samwell circus was so
thronged last night that the manager was
obliged to close the doors at 7:i5 o'clock,
and from that time until $50 1t was neces-
sary to have a special guard at the en-
trance to keep the crowd from forcing
their way in. The scene inside when the
performers filed in, attired in their resplen-
dent costumes for the grand entry was
simply amazing. Such mass Of human
itv. il seemed. had never before been seen
under a canvas or indeed anywhere else IN
Pottstown. The seats were packed to the
last SQUARE inch. and from the sawdust
edge of the hippodrome track mp against
the dome Of the tent through all the wide
circumference Of the show quarters rose
row after row Of faces. II was a hard
matter to handle such a crowd, but Paw

night so that although it appeared once
or twice during the excitement Of the

the pleasure of the evening. 1t was n

spoke eloquently in praise OF the Paw a

person left the tent from the opening until
